It's 1996. Sunlight glances off the polished chrome of a lowrider as it rolls through Compton. Eazy-E’s youngest child sits secured in the center of the backseat, the quiet anchor of his universe. Suddenly, a reckless sedan swerves across the lane, forcing his foot to slam the brake. Behind his dark shades, Eazy’s eyes narrow to slits, a familiar, coiled anger rising at the disrespect shown on his own streets.
